Description
The BMW M Hybrid V8 marked BMW’s return to the top class of prototype endurance racing under the new LMDh regulations. Developed for the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship, the car combined BMW’s high-performance hybrid technology with a purpose-built endurance-racing chassis.
The #25 BMW M Team RLL became one of the most recognizable BMW prototypes of the 2023 IMSA season. At the 12 Hours of Sebring, the demanding endurance classic tested both machinery and drivers across twelve hours of racing on the notoriously bumpy Sebring circuit.
The MGT0709 recreates the #25 BMW M Hybrid V8 that finished 2nd overall at the 2023 Sebring 12 Hours, preserving the specific race identity and livery of the podium-finishing car. Its dramatic proportions, low aerodynamic bodywork and large rear wing give the model the unmistakable appearance of a modern endurance prototype.
MINI GT brings the BMW prototype to collectors in 1:64 scale, reproducing the major aerodynamic elements and detailed racing appearance that distinguish the M Hybrid V8 from a conventional sports car. The combination of BMW M colours, #25 graphics and endurance-racing bodywork makes this a particularly attractive model for motorsport collections.
The Sebring 12 Hours is one of the most prestigious endurance races in North America, making the 2nd-place association an important part of this model’s story. For BMW collectors, it also represents the early competition history of the M Hybrid V8 during BMW’s return to the premier prototype category.
For collectors in Qatar, the MINI GT MGT0709 BMW M Hybrid V8 #25 is an excellent addition to a premium IMSA, endurance racing and BMW Motorsport 1:64 collection, especially for enthusiasts who appreciate historically significant race specifications.
